Porcelain Tiles That Look Like Wood Floors

Wood Look Tiles are a new flooring product combining the warmth of natural hardwood floors with the durability of porcelain tile. Such product is the result of decades of research and development done by ceramic tile manufacturers to achieve the likeness as much as in look, also in shape and create a superior flooring product compared to laminate and engineered wood floors.

Porcelain tiles are; Dent and waterproof. Durable, and easy to maintain. Besides, they can mimic every type and color wood floors with a fantastic likeness.

Therefore, the popularity of wood look porcelain tiles is not a trend. They are popular because they are the best alternative for wood like flooring.

Today, wood tiles are available in different sizes. Sizes like 6x24 and 6x36 are too small for seamless interiors and end up with way too much grout. Even though we always favor larger sizes for the sake of seamless floors; sizes over 9x48 are new and they will add to the installation cost. We believe the best value for wood look tile flooring is the sizes like 8x45, 8x48, 9x48 and 10x40.
